Wow those shells are a great color. The zig-zaggy tip reminds me a bit of the design on Rabdotus dealbatus.

They're gorgeous! They look quite different from my Bulimulus.

I think "Bulimulus sp." may cause some confusion. These are B. sporadicus. Astana, yours are B. guadalupensis so their appearance will differ. An "sp." abbreviation is equivalent of saying "species". I.e. "Canis sp." can refer to Canis lupus, Canis latrans, Canis dirus, etc. Specific epithets are not usually abbreviated.
